# get_workflow_status

Poll this between steps: returns active + recently-finished AI jobs (scope by project_id, or style_id for style analysis), plus per-segment- asset render statuses for projects. A step is done when its jobs reach status=complete (or error, with a user-readable message). NOTE: finished jobs drop out of jobs after ~30s — a short list does NOT mean work was lost; judge render batches by segment_assets statuses (or get_pipeline_progress), never by counting jobs. Prefer await_jobs over polling this in a tight loop.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `style_id` | string | no | Style ID to scope jobs to (style analysis); pass exactly one of project_id or style_id |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_workflow_status",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why get_workflow_status is rated Low

This is a pure query/status-checking tool. It retrieves information about job and render states without modifying data, triggering new operations, or causing side effects. The guidance to 'Prefer await_jobs over polling this in a tight loop' confirms it is a passive observation mechanism, not an action trigger. While it monitors long-running operations, it does not execute them—it only reports their status.

From the tool's own definition: "Returns active + recently-finished AI jobs and segment asset render statuses; explicitly described as polling/querying operation with no state modification. Key phrases: 'Poll this between steps', 'returns', 'per-segment-asset render statuses'."

## Use case

AI agents call get_workflow_status to retrieve information from Framesail without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Framesail:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_workflow_status": {}
  }
}
```
